3.4 ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS 3.4.1 Nuisance Control The facility is operated so as not to create a public nuisance, health or safety problem by applying the other control measures identified herein. 3.4.2 Odor Control Odors are controlled by the rapid processing and transportation of waste after it is deposited at the Transfer Station, including residual waste generated by materials recovery operations. Operations are planned so that waste is never retained for more than 48 hours. Odors within the MRF are also controlled through good housekeeping methods. The transfer trucks and roll-off bins are cleaned regularly. Food Waste may be processed inside the MRF. To minimize any food odors, the operators shall ensure that all processing equipment is cleaned as per the FWPOP and that all food waste entering the facility is processed immediately upon arrival. Note that source separated food waste is actually being removed from the existing waste stream and the proposed food processing capability will actually reduce the amount of time that food waste is present in the facility and thus should improve overall air quality within the facility. If the processing of source separated food waste generates noticeable objectionable odors the County shall notify the operator who shall take the following progressive actions: 1) Immediately service all carts and bins as per the FWPOP 2) Prepare an Odor Management Plan which shall be submitted to the county within six weeks of notification for review and approval 3) Implement additional steps as outlined in the Odor Management Plan as needed. 4) Increase the frequency of collection (from the beginning program minimum of 7 days) subject to review and approval by the County.
